Team JR–Making a Difference When it comes to creating helis and accessories that are the best in the business, it’s a team effort. JR® combines the talents of some of the best heli pilots in the world to bring you the kind of performance, service and support that makes the enjoyment of flying with JR second to none. Meet just a few of the many great people that help Team JR make a difference: Curtis Youngblood Recognized the world over as a pioneer of 3D heli aerobatics, Curtis is a 12-time U.S. National and 3-time World Heli Champion. He’s also a two-time XFC and 3D Masters Champion. These extensive flying skills combined with his engineering and design background help drive the development of cutting edge JR products like the Vigor™ and Vibe series of helis.
Scott Cathey Scott is one of Team JR’s most active team test pilots, and attends numerous heli fun flys. He’s a very accomplished 3D pilot who enjoys helping pilots just like you by offering his experience and setup expertise whenever they need it.
Len Sabato Len is the Product Development and Team Manager for the JR Heli line at Horizon Hobby. He’s a 3-time IRCHA Grand National Champion and flew for the U.S. in the 2003 World Championship. Len spends much of his time finalizing production details and instruction manuals for JR heli-related products. He provides design input and testing for these products as well.
Ron Osinski Ron is Team JR’s resident electric heli guru. He stays on the cutting edge of fast-changing battery and motor developments, and enjoys sharing this information with fellow pilots at fun flys. You’ll find Ron online too, offering support and expertise on several popular RC heli forums.
Scott Gray Scott has won several Canadian Championships as well as top honors at the 2003 U.S. National Championships. He’s also a regular at the XFC, F3C World Championships and UK 3D Masters events. Like Curtis, Scott also has engineering expertise and has been instrumental in the development of many JR innovations, including the Vibe 90 rotor hub.
Be sure to look for these other JR Heli Team members at a fun-fly near you.
Marty Kuhns Marty is a well-known 3D flyer from the west coast who competes regularly in the XFC. He is respected for his flying ability as well as his design ideas, one of which was the aerodynamically sculpted canopy that comes with the Vibe 90.

The new Vibe 90 3D will handle everything you can throw at it. To say U.S. 3D flying has gone to extremes is somewhat of an understatement. Full-limit travels, light paddles, 90-size engines, 30% fuel and aggressive 3D blades combined with an attitude of “total chaos stick bending” is a recipe to wreak havoc on any set of helicopter mechanics. And according to Curtis Youngblood, that’ll be just perfect for owners of the new Vibe 90 from JR®. Based on the popular Vigor™ CS, the Vibe 90 features many parts that have been redesigned and upgraded to handle the incredible loads of today’s flying styles. And the results are impressive. “The Vibe has totally reinvigorated my flying, which is why I love flying it so much,” says Youngblood. “During the off-season, I have been practicing more, as many as 10–12 flights per day. You don’t have to do much to it to keep it flying and it’s really tough. I’ve been pushing to find the Vibe’s limit, and so far, I haven’t found it.” Judging by his string of 3D and precision wins this year, it’s clear the work spent on the Vibe by Curtis, Marty Kuhns, Len Sabato and other JR team members has paid off big time. Along with the redesigned carbon frames and carbon fins, the all-important drive system has received a total upgrade, beginning with a larger diameter start shaft that uses a heavy-duty, one-way bearing. The new hardened main shaft, with its heavy-duty autorotation assembly and newly supported bevel gear hub has also been beefed up. The revised control system features an upgraded High Cyclic Swashplate, one-piece CNC 3D center hub with 0-ring dampeners, composite blade holders, control arms and a brand new adjustable flybar/blade ratio system. On the tail, the rotor hub design, hub case, pitch lever, and control lever have all been upgraded, complete with a new carbon tail control rod for improved actuation. Even the new pre-painted canopy has been sculpted to reduce drag in all axes, so the model flows through flips, rolls, tumbles and pirouettes easier than ever before. If you’re looking for a heli that can take your best shot and come back for more, this is it – look for the Vibe to arrive early in 2005 at your favorite JR retailer.
Venture 30 CP
A Great Way to Start
The almost-ready-to-fly Venture™ 30 CP combines the power of CCPM flight control with a versatile design that can take a complete beginner from the basics, through intermediate flight, all the way to thrilling advanced aerobatics.
Get Off to a GREAT Start The Venture 30 CP has quick assembly time, ball bearing precision, and rock solid in-flight stability that set the novice up for success right from the start. Since it’s almost-ready-to-fly, all the really complicated assembly, like the rotor head and main frame, is done for you. What little assembly is left can be finished in a single afternoon. When the time comes to take that first flight, the beginner will enjoy the smooth, precise flight control of CCPM. Since with CCPM all the swashplate servos work together to control cyclic and collective functions, standard sport servos will work just fine. Maintenance and repair is much easier too. And unlike other helis in its class, the Venture CP sports ball bearings throughout the rotor head for silky smooth response in any flight attitude.

Mild to Wild: The Power of the Paddles The Venture 30 CP includes an extra set of paddles that allow a beginner to “unlock” even more performance after learning the fundamentals.The paddles that come installed on the Venture soften the sensitivity of the controls nicely. This makes learning fundamental maneuvers much easier. Once they’ve mastered the basics, Venture owners can install the lighter, thinner paddles that are included for aerobatic maneuvers. With the conversion paddles installed, inverted hovers, tail slides, rolls, and loops can all be performed with precision. Whether you’re a novice or an accomplished heli pilot on a budget, JR’s new Venture CP has everything you need.
Venture 50
The almost-ready-to-fly Venture™ 50 3D is a brilliant combination of .50-size power with the simplicity of the Venture 30 CP’s preassembled frame and CCPM flight control. It also boasts a number of performance components that most helicopters in it’s price range don’t have, like: a high quality swashplate, heavy-duty spindle, aluminum center hub, main rotor thrust bearings, a limited slip differential clutch, and much more. Like the Venture 30 CP, all the really complicated assembly, like the rotor head and main frame, are done at the factory. What little assembly is left for the modeler—basically bolting on the tail assembly and installing the servos and engine—can be finished in a single afternoon. Perhaps best of all, the Venture 50 3D’s price tag is well within reach of budget-minded modelers who really want a hot 3D machine but don’t have a lot to spend.

“Unmatched” That’s how Model Airplane News reviewer Rick Bell described the Venture 50 3D ARF’s aerobatic prowess. Then, after noting its “outstanding instruction manual”, its “versatile “performance”, “low parts count” and the “minimal assembly required”, Rick summed it all up like this: Rick Bell “Whether you’re a novice, an intermediate or expert pilot, the Venture 50 3D ARF gives you a lot of bang for your buck!”
Voyager E
JRP9041 JRP9042 (w/o motor or ESC)
High Voltage Fun Everyone Will Enjoy JR’s Voyager™ E offers a level of flight performance not normally associated with electric helis. Its 12-turn motor gives it performance on par with some 30-size machines. Cyclic response is also very powerful thanks to the synergistic advantages of its CCPM control system. Using a typical 7-cell 7.2V 2400mAh battery pack, pilots can enjoy about four to five minutes of loops and rolls, followed by 30 seconds of gentle flight. Add a brushless motor and Li-Po batteries, and you’ll experience seriously high-voltage performance that’s completely off the charts. The standard Voyager E comes with JR’s NEA-300H speed controller and special 540 motor. Want to customize your electronics? No problem. There’s a Voyager E without electronics, as well. Whichever version you choose, you will enjoy features like: special nylon servo tray inserts that accept standard or mini servos, an auto rotation clutch, cog-toothed tail rotor belt drive as well as pre-finished and balanced rotor blades. The Voyager E’s main frame is constructed from lightweight, fiber-filled nylon, and the canopy is blow molded from polypropylene, making it one of the most rugged electric helis around. See for yourself just how much fun electric flight can be with the Voyager E.

XP6102 World’s Most Advanced Six-Channel Radio The first thing that grabs you when you pick up a XP6102 is the display screen. With some 1,550 dots available, the 6102 gives you a clearer picture of whatever programming task is at hand. PCM fail safe, servo position monitor, dual-rates, expo, pitch and throttle curves—once you see these programs on a matrix display, you’ll never want to go back to simple numeric displays ever again. With the XP6102’s ample 10-model memory you’ll probably be able to store more heli setups in it than you can helis in your workshop. And you can store both helicopters and airplanes. The XP6102’s programming switches are positioned to make programming equally intuitive for both types. You even have the option of selecting PCM modulation for the ultimate in interference protection. While the XP6102 has a host of programming features you would expect to find in a six-channel, it has several you wouldn’t. One of these is Flight Mode Digital Trims which allow you to digitally adjust and save different trim settings for Every XP6102 flightpack includes JR S537 ball each flight mode—a feature bearing sport servos and an 1100mAh battery pack. Flightpacks are available in airplane (4-S537s) and normally found only on much heli (5-S537s) versions that include your choice of more expensive systems. a JR R700 FM or R770 PCM slimline receiver. Add to this the convenience of fully JRP6645 FM Heli w/R700 & 5-537 servos JRP6665 PCM Heli w/R770 & 5-537 servos assignable switches, JRP6647 FM Air/Heli w/4-S537DS and it’s easy to see JRP6667 PCM Air/Heli w/4-S537DS why the 6102 can get you where you want to go, whatever type of flying you do.
XP8103 8-Channel Sophistication Featuring programming capabilities that allow some of the hottest 3D flyers in the country to “do their thing,” the XP8103 Heli has been designed to accomodate the needs of the serious sport flyer. Its class-exclusive 8,000 dot matrix display gives more information on each screen—in a manner that conveys the clearest message possible— whether it’s bar or graph pictorials, or simply words and numerals. As a result, comprehension skyrockets—along with modeling enjoyment. What’s more, new “3+1” Digital Trims mean that 8103 owners benefit from automatic trim storage anytime a mode is changed or the transmitter is turned off. Better still is the fact that JR has retained the conventional mechanical trim for throttle for the ultimate in visual and tactile references. For those who like to keep program copies on their PC, the available JR DataSafe™ interfaces the 8103 transmitter with your PC for easy storage and retrieval. ®

XP9303 Pro-Class Features Without the Price If you thought pro-class luxuries like a vast array of programming options and a big easy-to-read display screen were simply beyond your means, take heart. The 9-channel, 30-model-memory, 3-model-type XP9303 gives you all kinds of pro-class advantages at a price that’s almost too good to be true. In fact, there are very few pro-class features that aren’t included in the XP9303 Heli. Cyclic-to-throttle mixing is standard as are 7-point throttle and pitch mix curves. It also boasts four available flight modes, in addition to Hover and Hold, and new governor software that makes it easier to use Throttle Jockey and similar governors. All forms of CCPM—120, 140 and 4-90 and 3-90—are supported as well. Add to all this triple-rate gyro function, triple rate settings for all modes and fully assignable switch locations and you’ve easily got the most impressive Beyond an abundance of features at an affordcombination of capability and able price, the XP9303 further distinguishes value you’ll find in any heli radio. itself with a Rolling Selector System interface
that’s hands down the most intuitive in its class. JRP9250 JRP9251 JRP9252 JRP9259

10X The Ultimate Heli System If you’re looking for the absolute best way to control your heli, we’d like to recommend the 10X. This system simply does what heli flyers want it to do, and most importantly, it gets you there with the fastest, easiest, most direct methods ever conceived. The 10X model utilizes ADT (Advanced Digital Trims)—now flight trimming is a “set it and forget it” methodology. Just make trim adjustments as needed and they are automatically memorized anytime a flight mode is changed. In addition, flight trim is more precise than ever—scalable to 1/1024th of the servo travel. And, the ADT system uses a mechanical throttle trim to retain the advantages of visual and tactile reference so popular with flyers the world over. With new features like a throttle hold delay system and multi-point tail curves for all flight modes, plus the included DataSafe PC Interface System (which gives you virtually unlimited memory storage capacity via your personal computer), the capability of the 10X simply has no equal. ™

Rock Solid Holding Power G500T Tail Lock Ring Gyro When it comes to consistent, precise holding power, nothing can touch the G500T. Its advanced silicone ring sensor is highly resistant to shock or vibration and practically eliminates temperature drift. Couple these benefits with JR’s unequalled processing power and you can count on tail slide after tail slide without ever blowing out once. As World Champ Curtis Youngblood puts it, “The G500 holds a straight line as well or better than any other gyro on the market, in any price range.” What more could you ask for?
That Locked-In Feel JR Specialty Heli Servos It’s hard to put a feeling into words, but just ask anyone who’s used a JR® servo and you’ll hear things like, “solid”, “consistent”, “dialed”, “locked in”—you get the picture. And with three specialty heli servos to choose from, there’s one that’s sure to fit your type of flying and budget.
